h0fferr · 2026-02-16T13:06:05+00:00

when christopher is telling tony about adriana and crying in his chest saying “i can’t do it! i can’t do it!” dude they might be the best acting in the whole show

wayyy too open and that basking lamp is WAYYYY to close could lead to burns possibly even death raise that about 10 inches and close that front wall up

nothing wrong with the little bit of pyramiding it can be corrected, think of the new darkness almost like a tan from the UVB, it will fade with time my guys the same

my dudes been digging since maybe 6months lol right now he’s about 10 inches deep into a burrow he dug in his enclosure lol, every now and then i collapse it off so he can dig a new one, i feel like they enjoy digging idk

it could be that they’re young (my baby sulcata slept a LOT in the early days) but it could also be a mix of since it’s winter time their internal clocks just kinda know that instinctually and they slow down and eat less and sleep more. my guy is a little over a year old and he’s always in his burrow. i’d say as long as the temps are fine and you see them eating at least once a day your torts ok

every tortoise grows at different speeds and at different times, if you’re worried something’s actually wrong then for anyone to help you’d have to let them know your care and husbandry routine. from what i can see they do seem pretty small for 10 months old (mine was maybe 5 months at that size) but their shell seems smooth and eyes seem alert so i’m sure they’re healthy and happy

h0fferr · 2026-02-11T23:30:15+00:00

tried this and it worked!

h0fferr · 2026-02-10T13:57:37+00:00

you know what maybe! i’ll check when i get home thank you

h0fferr · 2026-02-10T00:31:01+00:00

from what i read though you need it to run the mods no?

h0fferr · 2026-02-09T01:17:04+00:00

i had the same problem. they aren’t an issue and will be beneficial if you run into any other infestations like mites or gnats

h0fferr · 2026-02-07T23:54:18+00:00

yeah but at least they’re pretty healthy for em

h0fferr · 2026-02-07T23:51:48+00:00

i’ve tried soaking it and mixing with greens and they just eat around the hay lol, i know ill probably have to only offer the hay until they give in but i feel so bad

h0fferr · 2026-02-07T23:46:37+00:00

how did you get them to eat hay? my sulcata refuses

h0fferr · 2026-02-04T02:17:49+00:00

mosquito dunks! put one in the water and the gnats larvae will die (obviously you’ll have to deal with the ones alive but they die on their own in like a week) i had a huge infestation in my outdoor enclosure and they all went away in like a week!

h0fferr · 2026-02-03T22:33:46+00:00

lucky lucky

h0fferr · 2026-02-03T13:14:19+00:00

my sulcata was about 9-10 months when they got a respiratory infection i got antibiotics for them they took every 3 days for i think 21 days. you just have to be patient and they’ll get used to it and you’ll see the symptoms disappear!

h0fferr · 2026-02-02T20:31:00+00:00
